All schools in Pennsylvania are required by law to administer a reading and a mathematics assessment test in grades 3 through 8 and a science assessment in grades 5 and 8. The district is also required to administer the Keystone Exam after students have completed Algebra I, English II and Biology I. Contact your child's building(s) regarding specific dates and times.
Online Testing: As of 2026, due to updated requirements, all statewide testing will be administered fully online.
Previewing the Examination: Parents who wish to preview the test should make arrangements in advance by contacting the appropriate building principal. This is typically done if the parent anticipates an objection to the test based on religious beliefs.
